Simon down to two

'X Factor's' Storm Lee and Diva Fever voted off the show as Katy Perry wows the audience with explosive display

It was bad news for judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh and their 'X Factor' acts last night, as Storm Lee and Diva Fever were voted off during the ITV1 show's second week of double eliminations.

Scottish-American singer Storm, from Louis' over-28 group, was first to be eliminated on the ITV1 series last night after he ended up in the bottom three with Simon Cowell's camp twosome Diva Fever and girl group Belle Amie.

Diva Fever, made up of Craig Saggers and Josef Al-Smadi, battled it out against the girls but were later sent home when Dannii Minogue, Cheryl Cole and Louis all chose to save Belle Amie.

When questioned by presenter Dermot O'Leary which out of his acts Simon, who is now left with boy band One Direction and Belle Amie, would have chosen to save, he said:

"I don't have to answer that question... that's not fair. Let's leave it at that."

Speaking to Dermot following their elimination, Diva's Craig said:

"We have had the time of your life. It's been mad being on the X Factor. We think we can really sing. With better songs we could have done a lot better."

Music mogul Simon, on choosing Duck Sauce's 'Barbra Streisand' for the boys, added:

"I accept full responsibility. I let you down and I'm sorry."

Meanwhile, 37-year-old Storm threatened:

"I just want everyone out there who's ever believed in something to never, ever give up because you haven't seen the best of me yet, let me tell you."

Performers on the show last night included former 'X Factor' contestant Diana Vickers with her new single 'My Wicked Heart' and US pop star and Russell Brand's wife-to-be Katy Perry.

And the 25-year-old appeared on stage in yet another skin-tight catsuit covered in glittery firework designs as she sang upcoming single 'Fireworks' to a backdrop of spectacular pyrotechnics.

The star, who along with 19-year-old Diana sang live, took to Twitter after her performance:

"Oh my gawd, I was so nervous! Thanks X Factor for making me feel like I was actually one of the contestants."
